Sorry to have disappointed you, Anon. I found it interesting as I hadn't known there were works of fiction available in shorthand. Just thought it's lovely little oddity.

But does it have anything to do with bringing the general populace up to speed on the Jewish Question? No? Then it doesn't belong on this board.

The use of the word "poddani" (subject) rather than "oddani" (loyal) seems weird. Might have been an inside joke/wartime trolling.

It generally makes me a bit sad to see books with handwritten and often heartfelt inscriptions at used book shops. I realize there may be numerous reasons for books ending up where they end up but still, it makes me uncomfortable.
